HOI AN GREEN TOURISM TRENDS: EXPLOSION OF ELECTRIC MOTORBIKE RENTALS AND BATTERY SWAPPING IN THE PAST 24 HOURS

1. LAUNCH OF "GREEN HERITAGE JOURNEY" WITH 20% DISCOUNT ON ELECTRIC MOTORBIKE RENTALS

In the past 24 hours, the Hoi An City People's Committee, in coordination with local travel businesses, officially launched the "Green Heritage Journey" campaign. To encourage tourists to reduce emissions in the ancient town, major electric motorbike rental agencies in Hoi An simultaneously applied a 20% discount promotion on all daily rental packages. This applies directly to modern electric scooter models such as the VinFast Evo200 and Yadea, reducing daily rental costs from 150,000 VND to just 120,000 VND/day, including free standard helmets and a map of green routes in Hoi An.

2. TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH: 15 NEW QUICK BATTERY-SWAPPING STATIONS DEPLOYED FOR ELECTRIC MOTORBIKES

A major milestone in Hoi An's green tourism infrastructure was recorded as Selex Motors and its affiliates completed the installation of 15 automatic quick battery-swapping stations at key tourist locations: the Japanese Covered Bridge area, An Bang Beach, Tra Que Vegetable Village, and Thanh Ha Pottery Village. The next-generation battery swapping technology allows tourists renting electric motorbikes to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one in less than 2 minutes at any station, eliminating the wait time for recharging. This trend completely removes "range anxiety" for backpackers, boosting the wave of electric motorbike rentals from the ancient town to the countryside.

3. RESORTS IN CAM THANH AND AN BANG SIMULTANEOUSLY LAUNCH PRIVATE ELECTRIC MOTORBIKE RENTAL FLEETS

Reports from the hospitality market today show that a series of luxury resorts and homestays in the Cam Thanh and An Bang beach areas have signed partnerships with electric vehicle distributors to offer on-site electric motorbike rental services. Notably, the Dat Bike Weaver++ models, with their unique vintage design, are highly attractive to international tourists (especially Korean and European travelers). Integrating electric bike rentals directly into accommodations allows tourists to easily access green transport with simplified procedures, no deposit required, and 24/7 technical support.

4. LAUNCH OF THE "SELF-SUFFICIENT ANCIENT TOWN NIGHT" COMBO AT JUST 150,000 VND WITH UNLIMITED BATTERIES

To meet the demand of young travelers exploring Hoi An at night, an alliance of electric bike rental shops on Tran Hung Dao and Cua Dai streets has launched a special package called "Self-sufficient Ancient Town Night". For only 150,000 VND, tourists get a smart electric motorbike from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, along with the privilege of unlimited battery swaps at any station across the city. This is considered the most cost-effective package currently available, letting tourists freely glide through the lantern-lit streets without worrying about energy costs.

5. PROPOSED RESTRICTION ON PETROL MOTORBIKES IN HERITAGE CORE DRIVES 150% SURGE IN ELECTRIC BIKE RENTALS

The hottest news on Hoi An tourism forums in the past 24 hours is the city's discussion of a draft roadmap to completely restrict internal combustion engine vehicles (petrol motorbikes) from entering the heritage core and walking streets by 2025. This information instantly provided a powerful boost to the electric two-wheeler market. Online searches and pre-bookings for electric motorbike rentals have skyrocketed by 150% in the last 24 hours. Rental businesses are rapidly restructuring their capital to acquire more electric motorbikes featuring fast battery-swapping capabilities to stay ahead of this mandatory green transition.
